If you get a chance, make sure you explore the produce market in the streets behind Tsutaya and E-Beans. The area still holds the kind of chaotic ambiance that is often found in other Asian cities. It is a contrast to the otherwise pristine environment of the Sendai station area.
There are both indoor and outdoor areas to buy a variety of locally produced or grown goods. The indoor sections sells mainly seafood and seaweed. This is an interesting place to explore as we can often find grotesque scenes involving dead fish.
The outer market is mainly fruit and vegetables, but also includes a few specialty shops and cooked food outlets. This is a good place to shop for your daily needs as it is usually cheaper than supermarkets and you can be assured of quality and freshness. However, it's worth just going there to wander around and see another side of Sendai city that is often overlooked.
